An Afghan official has said that Pakistan will present a list of Taliban insurgents willing to negotiate with Kabul during a four-nation meeting aimed at reviving the Afghan peace process.
Officials from Afghanistan, Pakistan, the United States, and China are scheduled to hold talks in Islamabad on January 11 to discuss a road map for peace talks.
The meeting will not include the Taliban.
Javid Faisal, deputy spokesman for Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah, said on January 10 that Pakistan’s list will detail which Taliban militants do and do not want negotiations with Kabul on ending the 15-year war.
Faisal said Pakistan had also agreed to end financial support to Taliban fighters based in Pakistani cities and to bar insurgents based in Pakistan from resettling in Afghanistan.
The agreement, he added, will include “bilateral cooperation on eliminating terrorism.”

Pakistan apparently does not interfere in Afghan internal affairs, so how did they get this list? Looks like Pakistan knows much more about an Afghan problem than the Afghans themselves. The whole world now knows that Pakistan is the biggest liar in recorded human history. They deceived the USA & UK (hiding Bin Laden), China( claims to be best friend, but trains Uyghurs) and ripping off the sheikhs is just peanuts for them.
